MTV The Challenge: Battle of the Exes

Season 22 of "The Challenge: Battle of the Exes."

This season will take place in the Dominican Republic, and all of your favorite "Challenge" competitors are back. If you thought previous seasons brought the drama, just wait until each competitor gets paired with a former on-air flame. Things are guaranteed to get explosive.

"Battle of the Exes" will premiere on Wed., Jan. 25, 2012, at 10:00 p.m. EST. MTV will air a special preview on Jan. 11 that will explain how the former couples became exes.

ABOUT THE CHALLENGE: BATTLE OF THE EXES
Some of them have dated. Some of them were in long-term relationships. Some of them have just hooked up. But they've gone their separate ways...until now.

What happens when former lovers are reunited? That is the terrifying question that twenty-six competitors will be asking themselves this season during the most intense Challenge yet, Battle Of The Exes. Set against the exotic backdrop of the Dominican Republic, each former lover will be partnered with their ex -- as their one and only teammate for the entire game. In order to claim their share of a massive $300,000 prize, these brokenhearted exes must find a way to make their failed relationships succeed -- or at least until they cross the finish line.

However, not every pair of exes will make it to the Finals to compete for a cut of the cash. Teams will do whatever it takes to avoid being sent into "The Dome" - a physically and mentally demanding elimination round. Here's how it works: after each challenge, the team that performs the worst will automatically be sent into the dreaded "Dome." And the team that performs the best will become the Power Couple. The Power Couple will be safe from elimination and have the unprecedented advantage of casting the one and only vote for a team to face off against the worst in "The Dome." No more alliances. No more bandwagon votes. The two unlucky teams will battle it out in "The Dome" for survival. The winners will remain in the game. The losers will be eliminated.

Along the way, the past will come back to haunt these former couples. Some exes will struggle to deal with painful grudges and broken hearts that have never been mended. And, for some, old feelings of love will be reignited. The stakes have never been this high, emotions have never been this raw, and the competition has never been this fierce, as these ex-lovers put their hearts on the line and battle for their share of the winnings. In the end, the teams that make it to the Finals will be sent to a shocking location 4,000 miles away where they will compete in one of the most epic finales in Challenge history -- and only one pair of former lovers will be crowned champions of Battle Of The Exes.

Who watched? Nate and Prescilla going home not surprising at all. Vinny let himself go BIG time. I think I will root for Mark and Robin. Mark is so nice looking! And not a complete douche like Wes and Johnny

Re: MTV The Challenge: Battle of the Exes

Vinny got fat. Aneesa is still fat. I don't get her she has such an attitude and knows how to get to the end but she is never going to win unless she gets in shape. Please do everyone a favor and do some cardio and quit drinking that will drop the pounds fast.

Seriously, didn't Wes learn anything from the last challenge. Work with not against.

Nate, luv'ed his performance on the honey beam. I could watch the belly flops all night long. In fact he could have won this entire challenge if he had just kept it up because all the rest of the contestants would have split their bellies from laughing so hard and he would have won by default.

I can not stand Diem. She just seems like such a b-word. How can you not be there for your boyfriend when his brother passes away? Especially after he stood by her through her cancer and treatments and stuff. I want to root for CT but I really don't want Diem to win.

Right?! I was shocked by his weight gain. I also agree about Mark, he has to be the oldest person there but he is lookin hot! And I agree that he seems like a total non-douche - I just wish I liked his partner more.

That totally blew me away when CT revealed that. Seriously, even if you are planning to break up with someone show some humanity and at least support them during a bad time like CT went thru when his brother died regardless of the circumstances.
